“Happy Birthday, Lee on – 08/01/2019”

     “August 1st – Lee’s Birthday – ends on 31st”

Celebrating  “Lee G. Aldrich Sr. Birthday” on August 1st and  for all  of the month,  till and even on the 31st,  and forever, as long as we can celebrate “BIRTHDAYS”  by   remembering those,  that we did LOVE  and that we will always LOVE, and until that  “DAY” when,  we are again united together, forever and ever, more  – with our CREATOR.

These “Photos”  were all taken when  we lived in “Fort Lauderdale, Florida”  in the 1960’s. They are all favorites of mine as they are in this small  photo frame, which is sitting in my office,  just where I will be seeing all of those, that  I LOVE when we lived in “HEAVEN”   because,  we  back then, had the “head of our FAMILY” with us  alive and well.

Life, here on Earth, is not suppose to be “Heaven on EARTH” because of  “Adam and Eve”  we are NOW on a journey to seek that which is possible to attain,  but we do have to take that  test of “LIFE.” Early on, we learn  as we go,  new lessons daily, and all  of our  learning,  comes to us starting with our FAMILY.

 When I was a child, our Family went to Church, and the PHOTO on the left, above is all of  us,  dressed and ready for “DADDY” to drive us to Church. In the next PHOTO  is “DADDY giving MAMA”  a big “KISS”  because,  I will be out in the KITCHEN   for awhile, just  preparing dinner.

The third PHOTO, on the right  is “DADDY”  home from the RESTAURANT,  for a good hour, as he goes in at six o’clock in the morning,  getting things ready for the BREAKFAST crowd.

Sometimes and  after  the “LUNCH”  rush,  “DADDY will come home  for  his “forty winks rest”  in his favorite recliner,  so that when he goes back to the “RESTAURANT”   he can  do more “cooking” and  or helping where needed,  should a worker not show up, or if , everything has gone just right, he can just  sit at a table with a customer or two,  and do what most customers like to,  just have a good “CHAT” with the BOSS! 

Here’s the secret to having  “HEAVEN”  here on EARTH,  just in case you need to know. Where ever YOU are, at  home –  work –  play –  and,  you are with others,  forget about  your own-self,  always try to be mind-full  of those with whom you  are around,  if you  find that,  they are happy or sad,  do they need something,  that maybe only  you can give or share with them,  just take the time to  share and or help in some special way!    “Try to do something – or  say some kind words, that will help!”

Life is really about seeing what,  we can do for another, as we  are not to sit around, just  expecting another to do for us. We should  be the one,  to offer HELP to those around us,  to be generous in trying to serve another,  helping  others to  feel so good  and while doing so,  you will find that you,”YOURSELF”     will just feel  so much better,  just because,  you were able to  do  for someone else,  making them  feel  so much better,  than they ever did, before!

It truly is,  in that  “LOVE and CONCERN”  for another,  that you are then living a  LIFE to the fullness,  that will  be making you much  healthier and younger,   than you  have ever  felt before!     D.V.
